I didn't know anybody who'd done one. I didn't know how to go about doing it. What I probably should have done is go to Berkeley and do a Master's or Ph.D. in computer science, but I didn't know about that. So I went and joined a telecommunications company down on the south coast of England, and I used the fact that I knew about microprocessors, and I was one of the few people that did. So I was in demand, and I was in demand as a consultant." ]]> 2016-05-01 23:43:23 UTC https://padlet.com/annika_apple/tim_berner_lee/wish/108663961
